Lloyd W. Wineberg (1896–1987) was an American preacher and Bible teacher whose ministry within the Plymouth Brethren movement spanned several decades, focusing on gospel preaching and missionary support. Born in 1896 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, he was the eldest of seven children in a family where both parents were committed Christians in assembly fellowship. His father worked as a rural mail carrier, and Wineberg grew up attending a school adjacent to their property. After completing eighth grade, he took courses in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping, skills that aided his early career as a bookkeeper for U.S. Steel in Pittsburgh and later as a clerk for the War Department in Washington, D.C., starting in 1915. He married a woman from his hometown—her name is not specified in records—and they had daughters who later assisted with his ministry correspondence. Wineberg’s preaching career began in earnest as he became a beloved Bible teacher among the Brethren assemblies, known for his clear gospel messages preserved in audio recordings by Voices for Christ. His ministry extended beyond preaching when he served as Legal Counsel for Christian Missions in Many Lands (CMML), addressing legal challenges for missionaries, including a landmark case that secured Social Security benefits for preachers without fixed incomes, benefiting multiple denominations. He also played a key role in consolidating four Brethren organizations into one corporation to enhance their collective impact. Wineberg died in 1987, leaving a legacy as a preacher whose practical support and faithful teaching strengthened the Brethren community and its missionary efforts.
